He was charged with lying to the FBI because it was low hanging fruit. That was how they could get him to cooperate with the investigation. The fact is, we don't know all that he admitted to because the report is so heavily redacted. We do know that he was under prior investigation for his ties to Russia.

I edited "counsel". Thanks for that.
